Great book by Dr Mauro DiPasquale--The anabolic solution for bodybuilders. excellent ideas about cyclical carb loading similar to what Vannesb said above- great info

A decrease in calories leads to weight loss and a decrease in energy this eventually leads to a decrease in strength.

I normally lose strength when restricting calorie along with carbs, but in past what I found to help me out is to pop amino before and during a workout. You will lose strength during cutting but I find that this helps me to get a not lose as much strength. If you decide to try this I hope it works as well for you as it does me.

Don't worry about strength loss, cuts are worth a little strength loss

I agree...woman don't care about how much you can bench, it's how you look, and they love abs.

For sure. While my wife does love my arms. The abs drive her wild. My friend has a much higher bf% and she thinks he looks stupid. "He looks swollen and puffy, not lean and jacked like you".

I can't agree with the statements above. I personally like size AND strength to my man.

When dieting you will lose some strength, but if you train your CNS to fire your muscles in sync properly you'll be able to retain most of your strength. Also, remember Power = Force X Dist / Time so work on getting faster. Speed lifts have a great deal of carry over to absolute strength.

I also don't think someone should be very restrictive in their Kcal amounts when they're dieting.
